It is asking who is ready to go into the trenches. Will you do what the French did and fight? Are you excited to be part of the war? Do you want to be the one that saves your own life and others lives too?

Do you want to be congratulated for your devoted work? Do you want to get high up in authority? When our country has won, do you want to be part of the reason for its success?
